i really like reading your blogs & the graphics are so cute! Somehow your farm stories reminds me of those Enid Blyton books about some kids having to live on a farm after moving from the city. Those were some of my favourites! Also, seeing from their photos, your farm family really look rather like those adorable Beatrix Potter characters. Just wanted you to know that i'm a fan of your blogsite! Out of all the food blogs i've ever come across, yours and Keiko's Nordljus blogsite are the mostt interesting ones ever. I really recommend checking out her site at http://www.nordljus.co.uk/en/Hope to read more on your farm adventures!Big Hello to all your farm family too :D

Your photos are so exotic... I live in France on the west coast and we are having an extraordianary and very unusual autumn.Today the temperature rises 16°C. Incredible!Some lilac trees are in bloom! you understand why your hen , standing in the snow , looks so strange to me. Your blog is a whiff of fresh and genuine air.It also restores my faith in the Americans who do not all look like G.W.B.

Seems to me Ms. Whitey has exhibited an aversion to snow in past photos? Too bad, as she looks all pretty and color matchy against the frosty background. Maybe if she had, say, wooly earmuffs, or something? Or, you know, a dressy pashima? In winter white, of course.

Keep those statistics in mind when you're feeling "curious" about chickens, my friend. We are fascinating, it's true, but unlike humans, we are not looking for our 15 minutes of celebrity. You won't find chickenz talking about our wattles on reality tv.

Hi Yanyan,Thanks so much for your kind words and for taking the time to write. I'll have to look up Enid Blyton--I'm not familiar with her books. And of course I love Beatrix Potter. But I could do without all the rabbits in my garden. : )

Hi Lindy,No roosters around here. Back in 2001 when Lindy The Chicken and her 26 friends and relations arrived as newly hatched chicks via the U.S. Postal Service, we soon learned that the "all pullets" (females) we ordered & paid extra for were in fact not. So after listening to 9 roosters crowing 24/7 up to a half mile away (that morning rooster wake up call thing is bull), we, um, well, ate them.

Hi Bean, You're right. Whitey would probably LOVE a pair of snowshoes. When there's snow in her run she stands around on one foot looking annoyed. It's really funny. I had a couple photos of her doing that, but she just didn't look as good as she does in this one.

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.

Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!

Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.

I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
